Hasport sells a custom AC bracket for that. When you do your swap just rest the AC on the frame of the car and it will be out of the way.

I just purchased the AC bracket from HASport. It comes with all the hardware needed. The quality of the bracket is super nice!

my 89 crx si with a b18 swap has a/c. I used the 93 integra a/c bracket to bolt on the crx a/c compressor to it.

This works. But you can't use all the bolt holes. And you MAY have crossmember interference issues.

Here's a question:

Can you use the A/C Compressor that's already on the engine (Like a B16 swap for example) and get longer lines if you needed to?

You probably could, provided there are no crossmember interference problems.

One more thing. The Integra bracket will only work with the Sanden compressor. With the Matsushita, a custom bracket is required.
